Description of problem: The ndiff utility doesn't work if the nmap-frontend package is not installed, because /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ndiff.py* is not present in the base package Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.40-3, but seems to be the case since nmap-6.47 (fc21) Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install nmap (make sure nmap-frontend is not installed) 2. ndiff Actual results: The following message is printed: Could not import the ndiff module: 'No module named ndiff'. I checked in these directories: /usr/bin /usr/lib/python27.zip /usr/lib64/python2.7 /usr/lib64/python2.7/plat-linux2 /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-old /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages If you installed Ndiff in another directory, you may have to add the modules directory to the PYTHONPATH environment variable. Expected results: All of the included utilities should work. Additional info: As the problem is old and no one reported it, i assume that ndiff is not commonly used (i found this by looking for the reason of the python runtime-dependency). I suggest to split ndiff in a subpackage (with /usr/bin/ndiff from nmap and /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ndiff.py* from nmap-frontend), so the whole python2 stack is not installed for everyone using nmap but no needing ndiff (python3 is the default stack in fedora).
Thank you for report. I've moved ndiff binary, python modules and man page to ndiff subpackage and add it to reqs of frontend package . Should fix your problem.

With the last version, /usr/bin/ndiff is still included in the nmap package, and not in nmap-ndiff. Also, /usr/bin/ndiff is the last piece of python code in the nmap package, so the python2 dependency should be moved to nmap-ndiff.
